Is typing speed a bottle neck for people? Because otherwise you’re offloading thinking to the LLM. Unless you can understand code faster than you can write it (which I’ve never experienced - best case scenario I can understand as fast as I read).

As a junior I used to think it was ok to spend much less time on the review than the writing, but unless the author has diligently detailed their entire process a good review often takes nearly as long. And unsurprisingly enough working with an AI effectively requires that detail in a format the AI can understand (which often takes longer than just doing it).

Yes, if it isn't your being overpaid in the view of a lot of people. Step out of the way and let an expert use the keyboard.

How can you not read and understand code but spend time writing it? That's bad code in that situation.

Source: try working with assembly and binary objects only which really do require working out what's going on. Code is meant to be human readable remember...
